2. To open the canister lid, press on the canister lid tabs on each
side of
the unit and lift canister lid. (Fig. 1)
(Fig. 1)
3. Pull the tab on the HEPA dust bag holder out slightly and flip
upwards.
(Fig. 2)
(Fig. 2)
4. Holding the HEPA dust bag in your hand, slide it firmly
between
the slots in the bag holder. (Fig. 2)
5. The cardboard face to the new bag should rest securely in the
dust
bag cover guidelines. (Fig. 3)
(Fig. 3)
6. Ensure that the shake-out bag is in place. (Fig. 4)
(Fig. 4)

7
7. Flip the HEPA bag holder over, pressing the tab on the bag
holder
until it clicks, then replace the canister lid.
8. The canister lid can be replaced on the unit with the hose
opening
on the right or left, as per your preference. (Fig. 5)
(Fig. 5)
Attaching the Telescopic Tube to the Flexible Hose Handle
1. Holding the telescopic tube, insert the handle into the
telescopic
tube receptacle. Push the handle in. (Fig.6)
(Fig. 6)
2.
Push forward on the plastic button and pull the inner tube
outward
to extend for a longer reach. (Fig. 7)
(Fig. 7)
3.
To remove the telescopic tube from the flexible hose, pull
on
the telescopic tube and flexible hose handle to pull it out.
Manual Suction Control
Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual variable suction control on
the flexible hose handle. The suction power can be adjusted by
moving the suction regulator to the desired position between open
and closed. (Fig. 8)

8
Open gives you less suction, closed maximum suction. For
example, less suction is required on upholstery and draperies
compared to thick carpets, which require maximum suction.
(Fig. 8)
Using the Attachments
Air Driven Turbo Brush
The efficiency of your air driven turbo brush depends on
the bristle brush rotating at high speed. Strong air suction
is needed to accomplish this. In order to ensure that
maximum air suction is maintained, please read the
following instructions:
1. Change
the HEPA dust bag or empty the shake-out
bag
frequently.
2. Replace
the pre-motor and exhaust filters as
needed.
3. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair
and
string, which may accumulate and decrease
brush
performance.
4. To
attach the air driven turbo brush, insert the
telescopic
tube into the air driven turbo brush.
5. To
adjust the suction control on the air driven turbo
brush,
slide the suction control for more or less as
desired.
Blower Attachments
The blower attachments can be used with the vacuum to pick up
very fine dirt particles in tight crevices or spots, or to inflate
inflatable items or air mattresses. The blower attachments have air
bleed holes. These air bleed holes help relieve some air pressure
so
that the attachment does not blow off. However, should an
increase in air pressure be desired, simply cover one or more of the
air bleed holes.

9
1. Pull up and hold the exhaust tab, with the free hand pull out
the exhaust filter cover grill. (Fig. 9)
(Fig. 9)
2. Remove the exhaust filter.
3. To place the power port into the exhaust outlet, align the
lower tabs on the blower port with the slots on the exhaust.
Pull up on the exhaust tab and push the tab and push the
top of the blower port until it snaps into place.
4. To
attach the hose to the blower port, align the flexible
hose
and turn counter-clockwise until it stops. The hose is
now
securely in place. (Fig. 10)
(Fig. 10)
5. To
blow up inflatable items, select the appropriate size
blower
attachment that will fit into the air valve.
6. Turn
the unit on and hold the blower attachment and air
valve
while the vacuum exhaust is pumping air into the
inflatable.
7. To
detach the flexible hose, turn clockwise and pull out from
blower
port.
Using the Blower Attachments
The blower attachments are extremely
useful for vacuuming in hard to reach
crevices and small compartments such as in
cars.
Important Note: When blocking the air holes. Grasp the blower
attachment firmly so that they do not blow off.
Do not use blower function to clear dust of fragile or delicate
objects unless they are secured or held firmly in place as the
blower action is quite strong and may cause damage.

10
Using Your Vacuum
1. Insert the power plug into the wall outlet.
2. Connect the hose, and telescopic tube if desired.
3. Turn
the unit on by pressing the switch located near the
base
of the unit to turn the vacuum cleaner on.

Removing & Replacing HEPA Dust Bag
Important Note: DO NOT use the vacuum without all filters,
shake-out bag, and with or without HEPA dust bag in place.
1. To
remove the HEPA dust bag, press on the canister lid tabs
on
each side of the unit and lift canister lid. (Fig. 11)
(Fig. 11)
2. Pull
the tab on the HEPA dust bag holder out slightly and flip
upwards.
3. Hold the HEPA dust bag in your hand, slide it out from the
slots
in the bag holder. Hold carefully to avoid having dust
fall
out of the HEPA dust bag. (Fig. 12)
(Fig. 12)

11
4. Replace the HEPA dust bag with a new bag. Do not reuse
the
same bag.
5. The cardboard face of the new bag should rest securely in
the dust bag cover guides. (Fig. 13)
(Fig. 13)
Cleaning & Replacing the Shake-Out Bag - Note: Clean the
shake-out bag outdoors when changing the HEPA dust bag.
Optimum performance is achieved by using the HEPA dust bag with
the shakeout bag decreasing the need for washing the shake-out
bag.
Cleaning & Replacing when used with the HEPA Dust Bag:
1. Replace the shake-out bag, holding the handle at the
bottom
of the bag, shake outdoors vigorously over a
garbage
receptacle until there is no more dust.
2. Inspect shake-out bag regularly for tears or damage.
Replace
shake-out bags if damage or tears are present.
Cleaning the Shake-Out Bag:
1. Remove the shake-out bag, shake vigorously outdoors or
over your trash bin until there is no more dust.
2. The
shake-out bag is hand washable in lukewarm water.
3. Allow
to air dry for 24 hours . The shake-out bag should be
replaced
when needed. Never replace into the vacuum if
still wet.
4. Replace clean shake-out bag in unit and replace the canister
lid onto the vacuum.

12
Cleaning the HEPA Pre-Motor Filter
Important – Please Note: The HEPA pre-motor filter will stop
most dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air
you breathe. T he HEPA pre-motor filter will accumulate many fine
dust particles that are difficult to see. Be assured that the HEPA
pre-motor filter is doing the job. Clean or replace the HEPA pre-
motor
filter from time to time, when it is visibly dirty or if you
notice reduced suction, as described in this section.
1.
Remove the shake-out bag from the canister. The HEPA
pre-motor filter is located underneath the shake-out bag.
Pull
up near the tabs on the sides of the HEPA filter. This is
a press fit system.
2.
Vigorously “Tap Clean” the HEPA pre-motor filter on a hard
surface
to remove any residual dust that might still be on
the
HEPA pre-motor filter.
3. You
can wash the HEPA pre-motor filter by running it under
the tap and allowing the water to run on the dirty side at
least
once a month or when suction appears to be
decreased.
